👍👍 The food is above average for a cafe standard. Not really a fan of cinnamon rolls/bread but their cinnamon toast is good. Italian Tuscan Salmon is delicious and I love the toast pair with the creamy white sauce. Ambience overall still okay if the crowds are lesser. Parking here is very limited. S...

    Food is decent: had the fried fish with potatoes and mushrooms. Potato has a kinda strange taste. Staff seems unfriendly. The space is really nice though, spacious with a lot of natural light. Quiet place to get some work done. Parking is pretty decent

    Popped by for lunch on a Thursday - there were a couple seats available. Parking is generally tough in this area, especially weekends. Cream spag was quite normal, nothing that stood out to me. Saw some reviews suggesting the italian tuscan salmon, decided to get that. It was amazing! Would definitely come back for it.

    Atmosphere is better than the OUG outlet 😍 Food choices here are huge for breakfast unlike many eateries where pastas, starters etc will only be available after certain hours. As many restaurants are practicing these days, scan and order food system. Everything ordered was good and recommend them all (Golden Curry Crab Pasta, Darth Vadar Waffle, Italian Arancini, Signature Mamak Pasta). Love the squid ink pasta with creamy curry sauce and huge soft shell crab 😋😋😋 Waffle with black fried chicken pairing is special and a great combination, taste great too 👍The Arancini (rice balls stuffed with cheese and ham filling) sit on minced pork tomato sauce👍Very rich taste so best to share it. And the Pandan Gula Melaka cake was so moist, fresh and sedaaaap 😋😋😋 Great service too, attentive staff. Would definitely return.

    Ordered the Breaky Breakfast and the Mac & Cheese with Karaage Chicken. Breaky Breakfast was quite normal despite its price. Mac & Cheese was delicious, hearty decent meal. The karaage chicken was nice as well. Coffees were good. The cappucino has chocolate on it, which adds the extra sweet flavor. Prices were slightly above average. Services were good. QR pay accepted here.

    I love the food. I love the atmosphere and the ambience and the service was great too. Came to celebrate friend's birthday over a weekday. Food took some time to be served, but the taste was mind blowing. Of course, do expect the price at the higher side for a cafe if the quality was this good. Coffee ok, acceptable. Tried the gula melaka coffee was okok. Parking around the housing area ( can be quite limited on peak hour though).

    Visited in November ’23 during brunch hour on a public holiday. Waited for about 20 minutes to get seated. Not many tables, and the cafe is located upstairs in a shoplot. First time trying this cafe; heard the unagi burger was nice. Ordered the unagi burger and mamak style pasta. The unagi burger wasn't very impressive; the sauce was slightly sweet and didn't meet my liking. I think the chef added their own recipe for the unagi sauce; using the usual teriyaki sauce might have been good enough. The texture of the burger bun itself wasn't nice. Surprisingly, the mamak style pasta turned out good. It had a strong flavor, and although the spaghetti might have been slightly hard in texture, it was alright. I would classify it as more chewy. Lol. But I do prefer this mamak style pasta. It's like kam heong pasta, slightly spicy and sweet. Coffee-wise, it felt kind of normal. Between, the high table seating isn't very comfortable.

    Unassuming little cafè tucked away on the 1st Floor in a quiet neighbourhood row of shops. Upon entrance you will be greeted with courteous service staff and good ambience. Decent food but come lunch hour this place will be packed - they have limited seating arrangements as well.

    A cosy little place to have Pasta or Brunch. Didn't get to try their brunch but manage to order their pastas. Had their pesto pasta with salmon. It was great. Not the typical pesto with overloaded cheese that you will find in other places. Their fusion fish head noodle style pasta was the star tho. Full of flavours and umami flavour.

    Foods are extraordinarily. Super yummy 😋. I found that their menus are different among different branches. This is the branch I like the most. Highly recommended. The wild mushroom pasta is superb.

    This place was a big surprise for me after trundling up the stairs, it was like entering another dimension, a gastronomic one. The avocado sandwich I had was out of this world, and the salmon pesto my wife and our friend had was so immensely delicious. Usually our friend doesn't eat much pasta, but she finished every morsel of it ! We had a cool coffee for afters before I rushed off for my 2 pm appt.

    Ordered Mac and cheese, Darth Vader, Aussie brekkie, latte, toffee nut latte, and Xmas drink (some matcha strawberry drink, can't recall the exact name). Overall the food taste delicious, to highlight on toffee nut latte, it smell and taste so much better than Starbucks, just slightly sweeter, probably can tell them less sweet when you order. The Xmas drink, personally, not worth ordering, it just taste okay and sweet (well, it's Xmas!)

    Nice environment. Decent food , great portion. I ordered the Aussie breakfast to share with my toddler.The only thing to point out is, why do u have chili flakes on the egg & avocado? First time here and we are not aware of that until the food is served. Small amount but spicy enough. Not child friendly. One star taken away for that

    Was there for branch. Food was amazing and out of our expectations. We ordered Aussie breakfast (not shown in picture) and it was the freshest Avacado we ever tasted in recent months. Mushrooms nicely seasoned and the cheese served with it really compliments the entire meal. We also ordered Latte and Tusca Salmon. The bread they served soaks up the soup nicely and the salmon was delicious. Definitely worth the visit. Only disadvantage is that parking can be quite limited.

    Food ok, i tried the salmon bao felt abit oilly because the it was fried... But taste was good. Thr mushroom pasta was owesome. My repeat order item next time. Atmosphere ok..

    Quite busy so make sure to reserve a table before going! Place was quite small and it can get very crowded with people waiting at the staircase. Food was quite ordinary, not really anything special. Got 4 items to try: 1. Unatama burger: it was quite bland, didn’r really taste like much. Had high hopes for this as I love Unagi. 2. Golden Curry Crab Pasta: the flavours were pretty good, quite a savoury pasta with creamyness. But there was something different about the pasta used - which we were not informed of earlier so we didn’t have any option to change 3. Chicken bacon carbonara: my favourite out of the 4 items, I tried - it had a smoky flavour and was really creamy. 4. Belly’s breakie: portion was pretty huge & the sausage was good! the mushroom was really flavorful and the baked beans as well! Not particularly special as an english breakfast but worth for value in terms of size & taste.

    Food and portions are pretty good for the price point. Ordered Belly’s Breakie and Cinnamon French Toast. Sourdough in Belly’s Breakie was good and you can request for your preferred option of eggs. The add-on sausage for 2 pieces was only @ RM8 (as of 29th June 2023). Would recommend the Cinnamon French Toast if you have a sweet tooth! However, parking and traffic at the location is a hassle. Went on a public holiday and it was extremely hectic and haphazard. Also recommended to go before 12noon as the queue got pretty long after.

    Well before u come here, please take note parking in this area is crazy. The cafe usually is packed, and there's very limited seating To start off with ,there's not much selection of food in their menu, food presentation is good. I've ordered their breakfast platter range. Every single item in the plate feels different temperature. Some are piping hot some are room temp looking at your cauliflower. It's like food being cook different time... tomato pith didn't cut off, such an important part to trim off they choose not to... Weird Nothing special on the Cafe latte, bigineer latte art, typical coffee blend taste profile
